Yep.  Merb, too, as well as Rubinius, which uses "mspec" - a scaled  
down version of rspec.  Plus - the specs should be pretty easy to  
understand, being that they are of ruby itself.

I know Rick Olson has started using rspec - you might want to look at  
his plugins.  I also have a few projects out there using rspec:  
DatedBackup, and FixtureReplacement, both on rubyforge.

Hope that helps,
